Compensation

Job Classifications

Each City position is included in a classification that defines its job description and level in the organization. The system of classifications partners with our compensation structure to determine pay levels and ensure that the employees are working and being paid at the appropriate levels. The City of Greenville uses both a point factor and market-based approach to pay structure development. For more information, view the general Salary Structure (PDF), the Greenville Police Pay Plan (PDF) for police officers, or the Greenville City Fire Department Pay Plan (PDF) for firefighters.
